FREE TREE STAND SAFETY COURSE OFFERED TO HUNTERS

 
            CENTERVILLE, OH – The Division of Wildlife along with Centerville- Washington Township Park District will host a free Tree Stand Safety course on Thursday, September 16th at the Grant Park Nature Nook in Centerville.
            Hunting from a tree stand is an effective means of harvesting game.  However, if not used properly, these elevated platforms present one of the most dangerous situations a hunter can face.  It is estimated that one out of every three tree stand hunters will fall during their hunting careers. Attending a tree stand safety course, taught by certified instructors, can prevent hunters, beginners and seasoned, from becoming an accident victim.
This course will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.  The Grant Park Nature Nook is located at 6588 McEwen Road, Centerville.
Students wishing to attend the workshop must call 1-800-WILDLIFE to register.  Pre-registration is required and the course is limited to 30 participants.
